Little Known Maritime FactsIncontinent, young SEA-E-O’s share their sea experiences

A number of primary schools were doing a project on “The Sea”. Kids were asked to draw pictures or write about what they had learned about their own sea experiences. Teachers then got together to compare results and compile some of the “better” ones…

1. This is a picture of an octopus. It has eight testicles. (Kelly, age 6)

2. Some fish are dangerous. Jellyfish can sting. Electric eels can give you a
shock. They have to live in caves under the sea where I think they have to plug
themselves to chargers. (Christopher, age 7)

3. Oysters’ balls are called pearls. (James, age 6)

4. If you are surrounded by sea you are an Island. If you don’t have sea all
around you, you are incontinent. (Wayne, age 7)

5. I think sharks are ugly and mean, and have big teeth, just like Emily
Richardson. She’s not my friend no more. (Kyle, age 6)

6. A dolphin breathes through an a**hole on the top of its head. (Billy, age 8)

7. When ships had sails, they used to use the trade winds to cross the ocean.
Sometimes, when the wind didn’t blow the sailors would whistle to make the wind
come. My brother said they would be better off eating beans. (William, age 7)

8. I like mermaids. They are beautiful, and I like their shiny tails. How do
mermaids get pregnant? (Helen, age 6)

9. When you go swimming in the sea, it is very, very cold, and it makes my willy
shrink. (Kevin, age 6)
